Any rebuilt salvage vehicle presented to the Department of Justice for a vehicle identification number inspection must have supporting documentation which verifies the legal acquisition of all component parts used in the rebuilding process. Proper supporting documentation consists of “traceable” bills-of-sale, invoices, or receipts which contain the following information: 1. Name, address and signature of the seller; 2. Name and address of the buyer; 3. Value or other consideration; 4. Year, make, model and complete identification number or stock number allowing cross-reference to the complete identification number of the vehicle from which the parts were removed; 5. Date the salvage or component part was acquired; 6. Vehicle’s salvage certificate number, or if none, the certificate of ownership number. If you are presenting copies of the supporting documentation papers, the copies must be legible. The certificate of title or salvage certificate for a replaced center structure or cab should be presented at the inspection and surrendered to the department. The definition of component parts is as follows: Front-End Assembly Includes the hood, right front and left front fenders, grill, bumper, and radiator supports if two or more of these parts are assembled together as one unit forward of the firewall.

Tail Section Includes the floor pan, right rear and left rear quarter panels, deck lid, upper rear and lower rear panels, and rear bumper of an automobile if two or more of these parts are assembled together as one unit.
